Was The Destruction Of The Francis Scott Key Bridge In Baltimore Some Sort Of A Warning For America?

Less than two weeks before the most ominous sign in the entire history of the United States appears above our heads, a bridge named after the author of the text of the U.S. national anthem has collapsed after a key support structure was rammed by a massive cargo vessel. “The Star-Spangled...

THE 3 DOORS QUESTION
Even maths professors have guessed wrongly, so let's see if VC members can get it right..:)

WIKI- "Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car prize; behind the others, goats.
You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat.
He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?"

Is it to your advantage to stick with your original choice of door 1,or switch your choice to door 2, yes or no?

Re the '3 Doors question' most people (including me and even maths professors) used to say "There's a 50-50 chance that the car prize is behind either door 1 or 2", but amazingly they're WRONG because there IS an advantage of switching your original choice to the other door !
It's all to do with mathematical probability, but even after the answer was explained, I still can't understand the maths behind it..:)
